@DataDInvesting Wow. Thank you for sharing your father’s and your family’s unique perspective. I much prefer hearing from the Venezuelan people directly over any news source to truly understand the context and impacts. All the best to your extended family over the next several weeks and months

Hi everyone. Because of the generous support from our community, @ChildrensNatl has started the “Damian Wroblewski Jr Fund” which honors Junior’s legacy of paying it forward. All funds support Junior’s Neuro-Oncologist, Dr. Brian Rood, a leader in brain tumor research. Dr. Rood and his team continue to find treatments and therapies that are safer, less toxic and more precise for patients including groundbreaking clinical trials. During this holiday season, we are working to launch this fund into the future and give children battling a brain tumor hope and energy for the new year. Live like Junior did. All gas, no brakes. Help a kid. Spread the word. Give. Learn. Click the link 👇 to Give. Merry Christmas!

One last thought on CFP selection. The ACC started the modern era of raiding other conferences & creating leagues that are too big and too spread out when it went after the Big East 20 years ago. Maybe it is fitting it is the first P4 to really suffer the consequences of that.
In a new paper, researchers argue that:
“a primary cause of the rise in mental disorders [in youth] is a decline over decades in opportunities for children and teens to play, roam, and engage in other activities independent of direct oversight and control by adults.”
More & more convinced that American kids need to take a "Basics of Western Civilization" course, where they learn:
- What life was like before the Enlightenment / Industrial Revolution kicked off the massive improvement in living standards we are all still experiencing
- What's wrong with living under kings / dictators / theocrats & why limited, representative gov't is such a precious gift
- About the 30 Years War and why toleration of religious and ethnic differences is so important
- About the importance of property rights, free exchange, and relatively uncorrupt contract enforcement to our collective prosperity
And so on.
Like, instead of starting with all that the West gets wrong, we should start them with all that it gets right.
